Orienteering race (Green Y long) 1:30:47 [3] 5.57 mi (16:18 / mi)
ahr:144 max:166 slept:7.0
Ran the Green Y Long course at the Buffalo A meet.... ran a good race... Had a good run going... and then blow it at control # 14 which should have been easy.. I was just so tired at that point my brain was in a fog... I should have stopped an thought things out... I would would have lost a few minutes not the 10 that I did lose.... I have to be more careful when I get near the end of the course.... but over all I feel it was a good run.... I now know what I need to work on (better routes) I have to learn to read the map on the run.... And not be afraid to run through the open areas... I tend to like to head for big black things even if it is a longer way.... This run kicked my butt.... I was dead tired the last 1/4 of the run ... I need to run more hills and run in the woods more...... But this has been a great week and I think I have improved.....

Event: Canal Cities Challenge
Orienteering race (Green Y ) 59:49 [3] 3.22 mi (18:35 / mi)
ahr:142 max:162 slept:8.0
Ran the green Y course at the Buffalo A meet.... had a good run... no major goofs... just two little ones cost me 2-3 min. each.. could have picked a better route on three.... but not bad over all... there is hope.... This time I didn't let people around me get me out of my plan or the route I was on.....
2 PM
Orienteering race (Sprint) 17:10 [3] 1.68 mi (10:13 / mi)
ahr:151 max:167 shoes: Blue Pegasus
Good sprint run at the Buffalo A meet.... big goof at # 10 of course 2 ... I was right there but didn't believe I was right and back tracked cost a min. or two.... Then at the down load they said I missed # 6 ( I had gotten it... I may not held the dibber until the beep...) I am going to get a new dibber as I have one of the old ones and during training this week I missed a few but then when they ck ed. later it was on the box.... when I did the string O race last week it seemed to take for ever to beep... at a count of 3or 4.. at times.... But I felt like I had a good day... even if it doesn't count....
